When it comes to starting 5A then make sure to study the counterweight to yo-yo ratio. That is crucial because if it’s off-balance then your tricks won’t go as smooth. A DM is a heavy yo-yo so use a heavier CW. Then head on over the 5A section, 5A may, Yoyoskills 5a Tuts on youtube, or check out basic mounts on Miguel Correa’s youtube: themiggymigs.

7:1 ratio.
